Mentoring is the act of guiding, supporting and making meaning together. It’s a relational practice rooted in presence, trust and shared growth. It can be a defined career choice, meaning someone identifies as a mentor, or it can be an approach used by someone to enhance their services to be more human. 

In the professional world, mentoring is a term used to describe a relationship in which a more experienced person shares their greater knowledge and understanding to support the growth and development of a less experienced or inexperienced person.

The Mentor Training is a 6-month accredited professional development program that teaches you how to mentor with integrity. You’ll learn how to hold space safely, communicate effectively, navigate boundaries, and support others through change and growth while staying grounded in your own wellbeing. The program blends psychology, relational intelligence, and ethical frameworks with practical mentoring tools you can use immediately.

This training is for anyone who supports, guides, or influences others, whether that happens through your work or simply through who you are. You might be: 

• A coach, therapist, teacher, or holistic practitioner already working with people.
• A creative professional sharing your gifts and teaching others to express their own.
• A mentor looking to continue your professional development, refine your relational fluency and advance your practice.
• A leader, manager, or HR professional mentoring within an organisation.
• A carer, support worker, or assistant who often becomes a trusted first point of contact.
• Or someone simply feeling called to share your knowledge and lived wisdom with the world and to do it with integrity and care.

If you value depth, responsibility, and ethical connection, this training will meet you where you are and help you refine the way you guide others.

No previous mentoring experience is required, just curiosity, self-awareness, and a genuine desire to learn.

Many people who are drawn to mentoring are already doing it in some form, even if it isn’t named that way yet. We welcome both:

• Experienced professionals who want to deepen their mentoring practice and refine their skills, and
• Those new to the field who want to build a strong ethical and relational foundation from the start.

Throughout the training, you’ll be supported with supervision, feedback, and guided practice, so you can grow your confidence and competence at a sustainable pace.

We combine inner work with professional standards, helping you mentor ethically, skillfully, and with genuine presence. Our approach is built on 4 pillars:

1. Relational depth as the foundation
Relationship is everything. We see the mentoring relationship as a living system, one that thrives on clarity, boundaries, feedback, and care. You’ll learn to design that system intentionally, so bravery and growth happen by design, not by chance.
2. Embodied Integrity
You’ll learn to live your ethics, staying grounded, accountable, and aligned in real-world situations. We teach you to hold space with care, navigate conflict with clarity, and lead by example.
3. Blended Modalities
Our integrative framework draws from psychology, somatic awareness and spiritual insight to honour the mind, body and soul. You’ll discover how to mentor with intuition, adaptability and relational depth, supporting the whole human.
4. A Professional Pathway in an Unregulated Field
Mentoring is natural. Our training gives you structure, supervision, and accreditation in a field that often lacks it. You’ll graduate with a credible qualification, clear frameworks, and the confidence to practise ethically and sustainably.

Even experienced therapists, coaches and practitioners can benefit from learning the ethics and craft of mentoring. This training helps you guide people through change in non-clinical settings, holding them with care while they navigate challenges, grief, and old patterns. You’ll deepen your relational presence, strengthen your ability to witness and support human complexity. Refine how to honour growth and potential outside of rigid frameworks.

Absolutely. Many of our participants come from leadership, HR, and organisational development backgrounds. Our mentoring frameworks can be applied directly within teams and organisations to strengthen culture, improve communication, and reduce stress, conflict, and burnout.

This training helps leaders cultivate qualities that enhance performance, well-being, and long-term retention.

We also offer tailored partnerships and internal mentor development programs for organisations ready to embed ethical, human-centred leadership across their teams.

Accreditation means this training meets the professional standards set by an independent body for mentoring and leadership education.

When you graduate, you’ll receive a certification that recognises both your professional competence and your ethical grounding as a mentor.

This credential strengthens your professional credibility, showing that your practice is supported by a trusted framework of learning, reflection, and integrity.

Our 6-month mentor training is accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), a professional body recognised in over 35 countries worldwide.

To achieve certification, students are required to:

• Attend at least 70% of live calls — showing up matters for relational depth and real-time feedback.
• Complete 20 hours of mentoring practice — supported by reflective practice to deepen learning.
• Engage in Listening Partnerships and Listening Circles — these are core to building presence, empathy, and skill.
• Submit 2 written assignments — designed to integrate your experience and demonstrate understanding.

Our ethos is simple: be present whenever you can, even if life happens.

Graduates integrate mentoring skills in every part of life; many get paid to do it. When you successfully complete the course, you’ll have the skills to: 

• Mentor individuals or groups, professionally; independently or within your organisation.
• Integrate mentoring skills into leadership, coaching, or teaching roles.
• Build your own mentoring practice with clear ethical and relational foundations.
• Hold space for challenging conversations, manage boundaries with confidence, and support others’ growth responsibly.

Many graduates go on to develop paid mentoring programs, lead teams more effectively, or weave mentorship into their existing professional ecosystem, creating spaces where others can grow with clarity and care.

Certification isn’t mandatory. Many choose this journey for their personal growth, using what they learn to lead, love, and work more consciously. The certificate validates the learning, not the worth of the person.

Life happens. Sometimes you don’t want the certification, or circumstances make it hard to complete every step. Whatever the reason, if you’ve engaged with the course, you’ll still leave with valuable skills and insights that change the way you work and relate to others.

The Mentor Training is delivered over six months and blends live learning with guided personal practice. You’ll move through a rhythm of:

• Fortnightly live teaching calls (90 minutes) to explore key concepts and frameworks
• Weekly listening partnerships to deepen your presence and mentoring skill
• Reflective study and integration time for applied learning in real contexts
• Supervised assessments and personalised feedback to support your growth
• Ongoing community dialogue to stay connected, inspired, and supported

All sessions are held online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.

Plan for around 5 hours per week, which includes:

• Reading, reflection, and learning
• Peer mentoring practice
• Live sessions

Some weeks may require more or less depending on your personal pace and depth of engagement.

All live calls are recorded and available within 24 hours, so you’ll never miss the content.

That said, live participation matters. Real-time feedback and relational depth are core to this training. To meet certification requirements, you’ll need to attend at least 70% of live sessions (minimum 8 calls).

If something comes up, let us know. We’ll support you in catching up so your learning stays whole and integrated.

You’ll be supported every step of the way — you’re never expected to navigate this journey alone.

Here’s what that looks like:

• Fortnightly live mentoring sessions — interactive classes where you can engage, ask questions, and receive real-time guidance from experienced mentors.
• Listening Circles — reflective practice spaces to deepen your presence, process learning, and build confidence.
• Peer partnerships — weekly connection for practice, accountability, and mutual support.
• Monthly course evaluations — personalised feedback to highlight progress and address any integration challenges.
• Open community space — ask questions, share insights, connect with other students and receive feedback in real time from mentors and peers.

We know deep learning can stir strong emotions or uncover old patterns. If the material ever feels challenging, additional support and supervision are available. Care, reflection, and grounding are woven into every stage of the program — because your growth matters as much as your well-being.

This work attracts people who feel called to make a real difference. Those who thrive here are:

• Committed to integrity — in both their work and their relationships.
• Curious and reflective — willing to look inward as much as outward.
• Open to feedback and growth — understanding that supporting people is a craft, not a script.
• Comfortable exploring both intellect and emotion — because true change happens when we bring our whole selves.
• Ready to hold space for others — even when it means sitting with vulnerability and uncertainty.

If you’ve ever felt that guiding others is more than a task — that it’s a calling — you’ll find your place here.

The investment for our 6-month accredited training is £2,500 (incl VAT). We offer flexible payment plans to make the program as accessible as possible.

If you work in community or nonprofit spaces, we hope to offer partial scholarships in the future — please reach out if this applies to you. We’re committed to finding ways to support those who feel called to this work.

Our next public cohort begins February 2nd 2026. Spaces are intentionally limited to ensure an intimate, supported learning experience.

We understand that life happens, and sometimes unexpected circumstances can affect your ability to complete the program.

Because this is an intimate, high-touch training, we don’t offer refunds once the program has begun. Completed modules are always reserved for you, and if something significant arises, we’ll work with you to explore the best next step.

That might include:

• An extension on assignments or practice hours
• A pause or deferral to join a future cohort
• Or, in some cases, withdrawal with a plan to re-engage when ready

Requests for extension or pause are considered thoughtfully and with care. We trust our participants to reach out early and to do so with self-awareness about their capacity.

To protect the safety and integrity of the community, all participants also agree to our Code of Conduct, which outlines expectations around confidentiality, respect, and engagement. If a situation arises where behaviour becomes unkind, unsafe, or misaligned with our shared values, we’ll approach it relationally, with compassion, honesty, and clear boundaries.

Our aim is always the same: to honour both the individual and the collective, so that everyone can grow in a space that feels safe, accountable, and real.

This training is built on relationship: with ourselves, each other, and the work. To protect that, we hold a shared agreement of integrity and care.

Our Code of Conduct is about responsibility. It ensures this community remains a safe, respectful, and brave space for everyone to learn, make mistakes, and grow.

By joining this program, you agree to:

Stay open to feedback and repair.
Growth happens in relationship. If a moment of tension or misalignment arises, we approach it relationally, with honesty, reflection, and repair where possible.

Engage respectfully and authentically.
Speak from your own experience, listen with curiosity, and honour others’ perspectives, even when they differ from your own.

Uphold confidentiality with integrity.
What’s shared in this space stays in this space. We honour people’s stories as sacred, and we don’t share them without consent. However, confidentiality has limits: if someone’s behaviour causes harm or indicates a risk of harm, we may need to escalate or report it appropriately. This ensures everyone’s wellbeing and ethical protection.

Take responsibility for your wellbeing.
This training can evoke deep reflection. You are encouraged to pause, reach out, and take space when needed. Support is always available, you don’t have to carry things alone.

Show up with consistency and presence.
Your participation impacts others. We ask you to engage with commitment, care, and communication if challenges arise.

Act with integrity, kindness and accountability.
We hold zero tolerance for bullying, shaming, or discriminatory behaviour. Difficult conversations are welcome; harm is not. Accountability means we mirror and name moments of unkindness, misalignment, or lack of integrity, always with compassion and a commitment to repair.

We suggest booking a short call with us to explore your goals and current capacity. We’ll help you decide whether now is the best time or if a future cohort might serve you better

Absolutely. You can email us anytime at hello@thementortraining.com or book a free discovery call HERE to connect directly with our team. We’ll happily walk you through the program and help you decide whether it’s the right next step for you.
